PATRICIA MEYER SPACKS is Edgar F. Shannon Professor of Eighteenth-Century Literature at the University of Virginia. She is the author of numerous books, and amongst other honors, was Vice President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences from 2001-2004.

"The readings that Spacks provides are nuanced and stimulating.
Each of the chapters is organized around the detailed close reading
of three to four poems which are related to each other in order to
exemplify the range of possible responses to phenomena such as
emotion, reflection or description. Spacks's guidance introduces
the student reader to the generic and thematic fluidity of
eighteenth-century poetry but also offers stimulating readings to
the experienced scholar." (English Studies, August
2010)

"Reading Eighteenth-Century Poetry, a book designated for the
specialist and general reader alike." (Studies in English
Literature, Summer 2010)

"Spacks is an impressive close reader, and her lively,
persuasive analyses offer exemplary models to students coming to
this method or subject for the first time." (CHOICE, August
2009)
